EPA actively encourages the restoration and revegetation of contaminated sites. Such encouragement is leading to the reclamation of former landfills, abandoned dumps, mines and other contaminated properties for a variety of productive uses. In addition to the potential for various types of redevelopment, cleanups allow sites to be restored for green space, recreation and for ecological reuse.
